Pilot Report (PIREP) Data Publication
The Aviation Weather Center (AWC) provides
dedicated 7X24-hour services for aviation,
including the generation of advisories on
significant weather impacting aviation (e.g.,
AIRman's METeorological Information (AIRMETs),
Significant METeorological Information (SIGMETs),
and Convective SIGMETs). An important ingredient
in AIRMETs and SIGMETs is the Pilot Report
(PIREP). During SWIM Segment 1, a new capability
is being developed so that when En Route
controllers receive these voice reports, they
will be able to efficiently enter them into ERAM,
which will transmit the reports to WMSCR for
distribution to the AWC. Today, it is
estimated that approximately 90 of
voice-received PIREPs fall on the floor.
Capture of crucial pilot observations by ERAM and
distribution of these to other NAS users
(including the AWC, NWS, Airlines, and General
Aviation) by WMSCR via a new SWIM service will
significantly enhance NAS safety. SWIM will
greatly increase the scope of coverage of the
pilot reported weather product.
